چکیده

Quantum illumination is a quantum-optical sensing technique in which an entangled source is exploited to improve the detection of a low-reflectivity object that is immersed in a bright thermal background. Here, we describe and analyze a system for applying this technique at microwave frequencies, a more appropriate spectral region for target detection than the optical, due to the naturally occurring bright thermal background in the microwave regime. We use an electro-optomechanical converter to entangle microwave signal and optical idler fields, with the former being sent to probe the target region and the latter being retained at the source. The microwave radiation collected from the target region is then phase conjugated and upconverted into an optical field that is combined with the retained idler in a joint-detection quantum measurement. The error probability of this microwave quantum-illumination system, or quantum radar, is shown to be superior to that of any classical microwave radar of equal transmitted energy.

Microwave performance of optically controlled MESFETs

This paper presents the characterization of illuminated high-frequency active devices using a time domain physical simulation model. The model is based on Boltztnann’s Transport Equation (BTE), which accurately accounts for carrier transport in microwave and millimeter wave devices with sub-micrometer gate lengths. Illumination effects are accommodated in the model to represent camer density ch...

Athermal, Photonic Effects on Boron Diffusion and Activation in Silicon during Microwave Rapid Thermal Annealing

Fabrication of sub-micron silicon integrated circuits (IC’s) requires ultra-shallow, high-dose ion implantation of dopant atoms, e.g., boron, followed by a rapid, high-temperature anneal. Since the implantation process damages the crystal lattice structure, the anneal is expected to repair this damage and react the implanted B atoms into Si lattice sites while minimizing inward diffusion of the...
